Description:
Economics is a social science which addresses how society allocates (distributes) limited resources (e.g. - goods and services). It is a “science” because it is governed by quantifiable laws designed to predict likely outcomes. It is a “social” science, as opposed to a natural science, because its laws are based upon social, as opposed to natural occurrences. This course will prepare the student for both the AP Micro and Macroeconomics exams. Each exam consists of 60 multiple choice questions and three free-response essay questions. More than 2800 colleges and universities give credit for passing the AP exam, enabling the student to move on to more advanced level courses. Students taking AP courses in VHS are required to take their respective AP exams in May.
